I am remembering the Twin Towers on the 24th anniversary of 9/11 today (September 11, 2025).
This is a photo of the World Trade Center towers that I took from a friend's apartment in Jersey City, New Jersey, during a rather festive Christmas dinner gathering in the mid-1990s. A few years later on the day before I started my move to Boca Raton, Florida, from Jersey City (I also lived there) in May 1998 (after working in New York City for seven years as a reporter, writer, editor, and researcher for four business/financial news outlets), I spent two-and-a-half hours sitting on a bench at the base of the Twin Towers, eating my lunch, relaxing, and just staring up at the two massive structures. I was thinking, sadly: "It will probably be a long time before I see them again in person." I never thought that I would NEVER see them again.
